Laptop to 32" HDTV Res ?

[DiscoKandy]

Hi,

Just bought a HDMI cable to connect my Sony Laptop to a Panasonic 32" HDTV. What's the best way to set it up for the best picture ? I'm running it currently in 1280x720 though its chopping off an inch or two of the screen displayed on the TV.

Any suggestions

At that res the writing looks very distorted.

and with VGA not S-Video. Ideally need to set 1366x768 but probably can't do that.

Not using VGA or S-video, laptop has a HDMI port
